Stitched Pumpkin Designs

This Knitted Art Technique Offers an Alternative to Carving

— October 22, 2015 — Art & Design
For those that are hesitant about carving up a pumpkin this Halloween season, perhaps this alternative stitched pumpkin design is a style more up your alley. This design offers a unique way to add color, text and graphics to your pumpkins without the mess of knives and carving.

While carving pumpkins is classic fall tradition, this tutorial teaches you to remake your pumpkins using colored string to add a quilted aesthetic that is equally as enjoyable and fun. The tutorial features turning any design or text into a pixels. Using a drill, the corners of each square are pieced through the pumpkin's flesh so technicolor string can be treaded through to create an X stitch. This is ideal for spelling out festive words like "Boo" or creating designs such as spiders.
Trend Themes
1. Non-carving Halloween Decor - There may be an opportunity for businesses to offer products and services that provide a mess-free and more inclusive option for Halloween activities like pumpkin decorating.
2. DIY Crafting - People may be looking for new and creative ways to personalize and decorate home items, which presents an opportunity for DIY crafting businesses to offer tutorials, workshops or crafting supply subscriptions.
3. Pixel Art Reinvention - This technique shows how traditional pixel art can evolve beyond digital screens and become a tangible, handmade art form which can be expanded upon and updated by artists and crafters alike.
Industry Implications
1. Craft Supply Retail - This industry can take advantage of the trend of DIY crafting by providing crafting materials for stitching and other decorative techniques.
2. Online Learning Platforms - This industry can leverage the trend of seeking out DIY crafting projects by offering courses on crafting techniques.
3. Party and Event Planning - This industry can provide a unique and attractive alternative to traditional pumpkin carving activities, attracting those who are not comfortable with the traditional carving process, with decorative and customized pumpkin designs.
